RESEARCH`
BUTSAYO, ALVIN FERIA

LESSON 1: INQUIRY vs
RESEARCH: A REVIEW
CONCEPT LINKERS:
GROUP WORK 1:
Based on your stock knowledge, give at least 3
words synonymous to your assigned word by
group and make a simple definition of it.
(5 minutes)
RESEARCH: A REVIEW
GROUP NUMBER ASSIGNED WORD
1 PONDER
2 PROBE
3 ETHNOGRAPHIC
4 OBSERVATIONS
5 PHENOMENOLOGICAL
6 EMPIRICAL
7 SOURCES
8 GROUNDED THEORY
9 ACTION RESEARCH
10 CASE STUDY
RESEARCH: A REVIEW
INQUIRY – a term that is synonymous with the word
‘investigation’.
RESEARCH – is a scientific, experimental, or inductive
manner of thinking.
It involves the following activities:
a. Identifying the topic or problem
b. Gathering data
c. Making theories
d. Formulating Hypothesis
e. Analyzing data
f. Drawing Conclusions
RESEARCH: A REVIEW
Research involves the following cognitive
terms: empirical, logical, cyclical, analytical,
critical, methodical and replicable.
The data that comes from one’s research does

not come mainly to the author but also from
other sources hence one cardinal principle in
research is to give acknowledgement to
owners.
RESEARCH: A REVIEW
Inquiry vis-à-vis Research
The core word for both Research and
Inquiry is investigation or questioning, but they
are not exactly the same in all aspects.
Research includes more complex acts of
investigation than inquiry because the former
follows a scientific procedure of discovering
truths or meanings abouth things in this world.
RESEARCH: A REVIEW
Methods of Research
To be a researcher is to be a scientist,
who must think logically or systematically; that
is, your research activities must follow a
certain order, like doing inductive thinking that
makes you ponder on specific ideas first, then
move to more complex conclusions like
conclusions or generalizations or the opposite
and also the used of others methods.
RESEARCH: A REVIEW
COMPREHENSION CHECK:
Directions: Explain your understanding of
inquiry and research by answering the
following questions:
1. Compare and Contrast Inquiry and
Research.
2. Which is easier to carry out: Inquiry or
Research? Give reasons for your answer.
3. How can a researcher be a scientist?
RESEARCH: A REVIEW
4. What if you do things randomly in research,
what will be the consequences?
5. Should you immediately concern yourself
with data analysis prior to research approach>
Why or Why not?
6. Could Inquiry and Research go together?
Explain your point.
7. What do you think of this line: Inquiry occurs
completely with excessive familiarity with the
physical looks of an object?
RESEARCH: A REVIEW
8. Have you had an application of Inquiry and
Research in your day-to-day life? Explain.
9. Name some institutions or organizations that
often engage themselves in inquiry and research.
Describe their ways of doing it.
BY GROUP RESEARCH 10 TOPICS THAT YOU ARE

INTERESTED IN. (RESEARCH TITLE FORMAT IS
APPRECIATED)
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH IDEA WITH

THE TOPICS (READ! READ! READ!)
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
CONCEPT LINKERS:
ACTIVITY 1:
Directions: To acquire substantial knowledge
on some topics in this lesson, activate your
schemata about the underlined word in each
sentence. Get clues from its use in the
sentence.
1. Demonstrate through a hand gesture the
magnitude of the screen that you think is
enough to block the window.
2. In looks, Malaysians are analogous to Filipinos,
but in language, they are not.
3. Please use precise words to explain your point for
the listener’s quick understanding of your ideas.
4. The plastic bag becomes inflated with much air
blown into it; deflated, with air released from such
container.
5. A person experiences moral instability if he does
not pattern his life after Jesus Christ, the way, the
truth, and the life.
ACTIVITY 2: Which between these two sets of statements
is easier or quicker to understand?
SET A – Ninety five (95%) of the examinees passed the

licensure exams.
Twenty pages of the book contain grammatically incorrect
sentences.
SET B – A big number of examinees passed the licensure

exams.
Several pages of the book contain grammatically
incorrect sentences.
Expressions like numerical forms, objective
thinking, statistical methods, and
measurement signal the existence of
quantitative research.
Expressing meaning through numerals or a set

of symbols indicates specificity, particularity,
or exactness of something.
DEFINITION
A kind of research which is a way of
making any phenomenon or any sensory
experience clearer or more meaningful by
gathering and examining facts and information
about such person, thing, place, or event
appealing to your senses.
CHARACTERISTICS
-Quantitative Research is described as
objective research in contrast to qualitative research
that is subjective.
-only real or factual not the emotional or
cognitive existence of the object matters to the
author.
-analogous to scientific or experimental
thinking
-happens in hard sciences like; mathematics,
physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine.
EXPERIMENTAL NON EXPERIMENTAL
-TRUE EXPERIMENTAL -SURVEY
-QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL -HISTORICAL
(MATCHED COMPARATIVE) -OBSERVATIONAL
(TIME SERIES) -CORRELATIONAL
(COUNTERBALANCED) -DESCRIPTIVE
-SINGLE SUBJECT -COMPARATIVE
-PRE EXPERIMENTAL
BASIC CLASSIFICATION (IN GENERAL)
-SURVEY RESEARCH
-CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH
-CAUSAL-COMPARATIVE
-EXPERIMENTAL
IMPORTANCE
It lies greatly on the production of results that
should reflect precise measurement and an in-depth
analysis of data.
Useful in obtaining an objective understanding

of people, things, places, and events in this world;
meaning, attaching accurate or exact to objects or
subjects, rather than inflated meanings resulting from
the researcher’s bias or personal attachment to things
related to the research.
QUALITATIVE VS QUANTITATIVE
STANDARDS QUALITATIVE QUANTITATIVE
Mental survey of Results from social Exists in the physical
reality interactions world
Cause-effect Explained by people’s Revealed by automatic
relationships objective desires descriptions of
circumstances or
conditions
Researcher’s Subjective; sometimes Objective; least
involvement with the personally engaged involvement by the
object or subject of researcher
the study
Expression of data, Verbal language Numerals, statistics
data analysis, and (words, visuals,
findings objects)
Research plan Takes place as the Plans all research
research proceeds aspects before
gradually collecting data
Behavior toward Desires to preserve Control or
research the natural setting of manipulation of
aspects/conditions research features research conditions by
the researcher
Obtaining knowledge Multiple methods Scientific method
Purpose Make social intentions Evaluates objective
understandable and examines cause-
effect relationships
Data-analysis Thematic codal ways, Mathematically based
technique competence based methods
Style of expression Personal, lacks Impersonal, scientific,
formality or systematic
Sampling Technique More inclined to Random sampling as
purposive sampling or the most preferred
use of chosen
samples based on
some criteria
